Sir_Siddy Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hey Just a quick little question which has been bothering me for a long time. I always seem to have trouble getting all my computers to work in the same Workgroup so we can share files and stuff. It seems when I add a new PC to the network some of my other PCs see it but others cant. Sometimes that new PC can see some people but not others. Its really strange. How can I get it so all my computers can see all the other computers in my workgroup easily. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 first make sure they all have the same workgroup name. I noticed some computers come with the name "mshome" and others come with the name "workgroup" as default. make sure they all our one or the other(the same). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir_Siddy Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 mshome workgroup name came from WIN 2000 computers. I use XP on all of my PCs. They all have Workgroup as the default name Quote Link to post Share on other sites
